Since I've come home from work Dave and I watched World Extreme Cagefighting. Honestly, I actually enjoyed watching it. I'm not one for wrestling or boxing but this was different. You don't know what expect from the fighters; it's impossible to anticipate the types of kicks or knee jabs or choke holds. More than anything though, I really appreciated the respect that the individual fighters have for their opponents. Even the matches filled with long held grudges, the men are very respectful of one another. Maybe it's due to the fact that just about any kind of hit or kick is fair game but I didn't get the sense that any of them delivered cheap shots. There was none of the bravado and posturing that you see in wrestling. No one tries to make this seem like the most dramatic event on television; the fighting speaks for itself.
Seems like I'm consistently surprising myself recently. Between actually entertaining this notion of being a banker recently and watching Cagefighting, I hardly recognize myself. I've known for a while that I didn't feel like I knew who I was or what I wanted but these small discoveries in my interests have me questioning if I've ever known. Of course, everyone undoubtedly feels entirely different from the person they were in high school but I feel like if I were given description of different "adult women" explaining personality traits and interests and asked to choose which one I thought would describe me at 26, I never would have chosen the me I am now. Wow, another convoluted sentence from me. I really should try to write when I'm more awake. All these recent personal revelations have me wondering what kind of woman I will actually be in another ten years. I really hope I like her.
